UVA, William and Mary, Cornell and others...

I just sent in my finical aid info to Cornell, I doubt it will matter though. My (widowed) father makes apx. 120k a year.
But hey, why not.

Cornell does seem to be ranked everywhere in the top 10-15 for mathematics; William and Mary and UVA are normally absent. I’m not sure how much value I place on that though.
Would majoring in standard mathematics while minoring in finance be about the same as majoring in financial mathematics at UVA? That seems to be my only option for W&M and Cornell as both do not offer financial mathematics/engineering for undergrad.

Also, I think in my mind I’ve already written off St. Bonaventure and Canisius at this point; I can only ignore reputation so much.
